Floyd would dominate every fighter Manny did under the very same conditions, that's Cotto 14lbs lighter, Oscar 20lbs lighter and dead man walking, that's what Manny dominated, I believe both versions of Oscar and Cotto that Floyd beat would beat Manny, that's the reason Manny refused point-blank across two weight classes to fight Cotto without a CW. Manny didn't dominate and KO anybody that was not CWed .
Where did I say size don't matter, in boxing as in any one on one fight it matters greatly, where it doesn't matter is what you where in another time, it only matters on the night of the fight what you are, if you grow into a bigger fighter you are no longer the smaller fighter so to compare size across different times don't really mean anything.
Floyd and Manny are entirely different beings, different speed power ratios, they met head to head and Manny couldn't do anything with him and lost too a Floyd in cruise control, doesn't mean they are both not great, just means one was better when it mattered most.
